can she grow to be big or is it just "baby fat"?? |
At 7 weeks she's really not old enough to even be away from her mother much less determine what size she will be as an adult. The general rule of thumb is to double the 12 week size for the adult weight estimate. At 7 weeks she should be weaned and active so the weight shouldn't be baby fat at this stage. You'll have a better idea in about 5 weeks but I would guess that your looking at between 6 -8 pounds. Remember that pups usually take after grandparents more closely than parents.
